This story is a lie concocted by the social media department of Bloomberg's Moms group.

If anyone ever posts an article painting guns or gun owners in an unfavorable light, it needs to be fact checked. This story is two years old, was originally printed in the NYT, and the NYT issued a retraction.

No one hid in the freezer, no one called the police from the store. Those are the facts. http://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2014/05/10/open-carry-texas-helps-debunk-story-that-terrified-jack-in-the-box-employees-locked-themselves-in-freezer/

If people in Texas see a firearm, they are not likely to call the police OR use it as an excuse to steal. Gun control advocates are never honest. Remember that.
